Another stop on Mike's and Mom's trip was in Kirtland, Ohio at the Newel K. Whitney Store. (Late in 1830, members of the newly organized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were directed to gather to Ohio. The Prophet Joseph Smith and his wife Emma were among the first to travel to Kirtland, arriving at Newel K. Whitney's general store in early February 1831. The Whitneys, who were converts, welcomed the Smiths and opened their home to the Prophet and his wife.)
